1925 Gallowegian Harding University Searcy AR

Thanks to a friend in Georgia!

She found my blogs, decided I liked history, wondered if I'd like to have this historic 1925 Gallowegian yearbook that had been kept by a relative!  Did I!!!  I loved the idea.  She mailed it and it is wonderful!  Check out this magnificent 4 page fold out of the student body.

Now let's see if we can see a closer look.  This was an all girl's school in 1925.  Eventually it became Harding College in Searcy AR and then Harding University as it is today.  Here's a view of the left side.

And here is a view of the right side.  It is a large group of girls and their dresses are quite similar.

Look how all arms are folded!  Hairstyles alike!

And here is a closeup of the ones in the ones in the center.  I have about three other Gallowegians and none of them have a spectacular 4 page fold-out like this.  My thinking is that they were usually removed and framed......an excellent idea.

Thank you, Nelda, for this wonderful gift!

Wonderful indeed! It's good to have friends in Georgia.

I have one also plus a 1920 Searcy Highschool Yearbook.

That's quite the treasure, Barbara.  Not long ago, I came across my dad's 1916 high school diploma. It looked like a piece of art!

Hello Barbara - that's quite a "treasure".  Lots of detail in the design.

Don, I can't read the year of your Gallowegian.  What year is it and does it have the fold-out page?  I love the old yearbooks!

Myrl and Michael, I can't understand why young folks of today do not care for historical documents.  I have had a long career in real estate.  Our Board started MLS books in 1982 and I saved mine, mostly the sold books.  When we went all on-line I donated my old books to the Board to display in a bookcase or refer back to if needed.  They have just now asked if I wanted them back or they were going to throw them away!  I took them back and now they are at my house.  You'd think that they would appreciate history, wouldn't you??
